General FAQs

Q: What is UDISE+ and why do we need to enter data for 2025-26?
A: UDISE+ is a government system that collects school data like student numbers, teacher details, and facilities. For 2025-26, it’s important to update this data so the government can give schools the right funds, books, and support. It helps track progress and fix problems like low enrollment or poor infrastructure. All schools, including new ones, must participate.

Q: Who enters the data – teachers, HMs, or MIS officers?
A: HMs or teachers usually enter school-level data using the school’s UDISE code. CRC/BRC check at cluster/block level. District MIS officers handle approvals, mergers, or fixes. State MIS oversees everything. For uncovered schools (new or not in system), HMs contact District MIS to get a UDISE code first.

Q: What is a UDISE code and how do I get one for a new school?
A: It’s an 11-digit unique ID for your school (e.g., first 2 digits for state, next 2 for district). For new/uncovered schools, HMs submit details to District MIS, who apply via the School Directory Management section. It takes about a week after verification.

Q: How often is data updated, and what’s the deadline for 2025-26?
